How to Make a Flush in Seven Card Stud Poker

Video Transcript

"Hello! My name is Taylor Honkofsky and on behalf of expertvillage.com, we're talking about 7 card stud. In this hand, we're going to talk about the flush. You get your 2 cards down, your 1 card up. I'm going to take a look at what you've got. Wow, this is a good start in hand. You already have a pair of 4s, which you also have 2 to the flush. Probably going to stay in, see another card. Good card that comes out. You have 3 to a flush now. You have one club under here. It's good to remember these cards so you don't have to keep looking at them as well. So we do have the ace and 4 under here. The ace is a club so we have 3 clubs. Definitely stay in to see the next card. It's looking good. You have 5 cards in front of you and you have 2 cards to come and you only need one more club. As long as one of those other cards is a club, you have a pretty good hand. Usually unbeatable, especially since you have the ace of clubs, which is the high flush. There you go. You hit you flush. The next doesn't even matter. You already have a made hand. You actually have a chance for a straight flush, which actually they call the steel wheel, which would be ace, 2, 3, 4, 5 of clubs. Like I said, really at this point you have a flush. The 2 of clubs is the only card that can change your hand. On the last card, it's a meaningless king. It doesn't even really matter. You already have that flush. That's a flush. Nine times out of ten this hand's going to win. The only thing that's going to beat you is a boat or 4 of kind or a straight flush. You’ll probably be able to see something like that. In this game, you can see 4 out of their 7 cards so you might have an idea that you are beat, but most times in this situation this is a winning hand. Congratulations, you just won about a flush. Thank you for watching. "
